Academic Disqualification
students on Academic restriction, who obtain a gPA of at
least 2.0 and complete more than 67% of their courses for
the next semester will be allowed to continue. students on
Academic restriction who cannot maintain good academic
standing will be academically disqualified.
students who are academically disqualified will be dismissed
and will not be permitted to enroll in the next traditional
semester. After the next traditional semester, students who
are allowed to re-enter will be placed on Academic
restricted status until they regain good academic standing.
Academic Renewal
Past academic performance may not, for a variety of reasons,
be reflective of a student’s subsequent demonstrated
ability. currently enrolled students who meet the criteria
may have up to three consecutive terms of coursework
ignored in computing their academic standing, grade-point
average, and eligibility for degree or certificate completion.
Academic renewal may be given only once and will apply to
the entire term, not just one class. the student must have
earned a minimum of 12 credits with a minimum 2.5 gPA
after the grades to be alleviated, and three years must
have elapsed since the substandard grades were earned.
eligibility for renewal applies only to students who have not
already completed requirements for a certificate or degree.
since the student’s complete record (before and after
Academic renewal) remains on the transcript, other institutions
may consider all classes when a student transfers
or applies to a professional or graduate-level program.
For more information, please see any campus student
services center.
